Thankful

Wheatbread Johnson bought this painting of the Dinosaur on the Moon from me:


Then he sent me this message on Facebook (I hope he doesn't mind my sharing!):

"I have been looking at your pic of the painting and I was inspired to write a fun little punk rock song in its honor.
DINOSAURS ON THE MOON By Wheatbread Johnson
Dinosaurs on the moon
Now we’re having fun
Dinosaurs back on earth
Said it couldn’t be done
Don’t be such a fool
They invented fossil fuel
This will be the jewel
In civilization’s crown (instrumental section like A verse)
Dinosaurs on the moon
Now we’re having fun
One hundred eighty million years
To prove the whole world wrong
Don’t be such a geek
It’s the beginning not the peak
Their puny brains weren’t too weak
What evidence can be found?
Dinosaurs on the moon
Dinosaurs on the moon
When you tuck your little ones in at night
Tell them about this ancient flight
Even though your ego says it can’t be right
And look up at their paradise found
Dinosaurs on the moon
Dinosaurs on the moon
Dinosaurs on the moon
Dinosaurs on the moon"

And I think that, once someone writes a song about a painting you made, I think it puts you into a whole new state of being. While painting, I mean. I was painting today, muttering, Dinosaurs on the moon dinosaurs on the moon and feeling pretty good. Maybe now I'll be so complacent, all I'll do is crap! But honestly I always felt it's all crap until someone likes it, anyway. Shart.

And, yes, I'm also thankful for the rest of you who have supported my art recently! If you write any songs about it, let me know! I'll post them here. Fan art is always appreciated. Greatly appreciated.
